EW SYFY is ending Eureka after the yet to air 5th season. Now, I may be the only Eureka fan on the board (which would be a shame), but I was very surprised when I saw this news. I remember watching the first episode when it originally aired and have not missed an episode since.

Am I the only one sad about this?

edited to remove my amateurish (painstaking) rant. ]]>

There's also Warehouse 13, which recently had a cross-over with Eureka. ]]>

But now that I read this, it just makes me seriously loathe the SyFy Channel.

They did the same thing with Farscape and the Stargates (though, admittedly, Stargate Universe kinda seriously sucked). And then they keep crappy shows like Sanctuary around. x_x That show makes my head hurt, and not in the good way in which it made me think too hard.

Soon the Syfy channel may be nothing but reality TV shows on how to catch a Bigfoot-UFO-ghost, and awful movies that a 6 year old could write better.

Oh man, now I've gone off and done an amateurish rant. Oh well... ]]>

Farscape got four, despite never having particularly great ratings even by Syfy standards. All of them (and Eureka) aired more episodes than BSG, their crown jewel. Shows get progressively more expensive as time goes on, so unless the show is a monster hit, it doesn't make sense to keep churning them out, and virtually nothing Syfy does is a huge hit in the general sense.

Sanctuary, for instance, is in it's third season, gets decent ratings, and is dirt cheap to produce compared to the other shows.

This is by no means limited to Syfy; economics are economics. AMC, for instance, is in the midst of trying to pare down costs on Breaking Bad, they had vicious negotiations to keep Mad Men on the air, and they're already trying to cut costs on The Walking Dead. ]]>

SCI-FI shows I actually see on 'SyFy' (that brand change also did my head in) anymore. You'd hope that the network could keep the crappy paranormal investigation jokes*ahem*shows on their reality channels and use the SyFy channel for... SCI-FI!

Haven=good, Warehouse 13=Most like Eureka in style (Therefore, Very Good)

But other than that... Has Alphas started over here in the UK yet? I can honestly say I rarely watch SyFy any more thanks to the constant action movie seasons + don't get me started on the piss-takery that was the whole evening dedicated to a live MMA tournament... Yes, of COURSE Sci-Fi fans want to watch a #@£$ing live sports event instead of Sci-Fi, that's definitely the reason they watch the SCI-FI channel! Utter Executive Bastards!
